Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A data set as 4 , 7, 7, 3, 5, 2, 6, 7, 9

To find: The interquartile range for the data set

Solution: The interquartile range for the data set is the difference of the middle of the first half and the middle of the second half.

So, to find we first need to find the median.

The numbers can be arranged in ascending order as:

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 9

As, the number of terms is 9, which is odd. So, the median is $\left ( \frac{9+1}{2} \right )^{th}$ term. So, the median is 6.

So, we have the first half as 2, 3, 4, 5 and the second half as 7, 7,. 7, 9.

Now, the middle of first half is $\frac{3+4}{2} =3.5$

middle of second half is $\frac{7+7}{2} =7$

Now, interquartile range $=7-3.5=3.5$

Hence, interquartile range is 3.5.

Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected, 54% use them in meetings or classes (based on data from an lg sm

GuDViN [60]

Answer: 0.951%

Explanation:

Note that in the problem, the scenario is either the adult is using or not using smartphones. So, we have a yes or no scenario involved with the random variable, which is the number of adults using smartphones. Thus, the number of adults using smartphones follows the binomial distribution.

Let x be the number of adults using smartphones and n be the number of randomly selected adults. In Binomial distribution, the probability that there are k adults using smartphones is given by

$P(x = k) = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}p^k (1-p)^{n-k}$

Where p = probability that an adult is using smartphones = 54% (since 54% of adults are using smartphones).

Since n = 12 and k = 3, the probability that fewer than 3 are using smartphones is given by

$P(x \ \textless \ 3) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2)
\\ \indent = \frac{12!}{0!(12-0)!}(0.54)^0 (1-0.54)^{12-0} + \frac{12!}{1!(12-1)!}(0.54)^1 (1-0.54)^{12-1} + \\ \indent \frac{12!}{2!(12-2)!}(0.54)^2 (1-0.54)^{12-2}
\\
\\ \indent = \frac{12!}{(1)(12!)}(0.46)^{12} + \frac{12(11!)}{(1)(11!)}(0.54)(0.46)^{11}+ \frac{12(11)(10!)}{(2)(10!)}(0.54)^2(0.46)^{10}
\\
\\ \indent = (1)(0.46)^{12} + (12)(0.54)(0.46)^{11}+ (66)(0.54)^2(0.46)^{10}
\\ \indent \boxed{P(x \ \textless \ 3) \approx 0.00951836732 }
$

Therefore, the probability that there are fewer than 3 adults are using smartphone is 0.00951 or 0.951%.

a scale drawing of a building needs to be made using the scale 1 in = 190 ft. how tall will the builging in the scale drawing be

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{3 in}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1 in = 190 ft

x in = 570 ft

We can use ratio and proportion to solve this problem.

$\begin{array}{cccl}\dfrac{1}{x} & = & \dfrac{190}{570} & \\\\570 & = & 190x & \text{Mutiplied by lowest common denominator (570x)}\\3 & = & x & \text{Divided each side by 3}\\\end{array}$

The building will be $\boxed{\textbf{3 in}}$ tall in the scale drawing.
